@@ReneRitchie Hi Rene & Greg, big fan of your channels! I've recently bought an M1 MacBook Pro. The spacebar wobbles/rocks a lot when I alternatively press the top and bottom edges gently! Is this normal? Thought I'd ask since you've experience of the Magic Keyboard on both the 13" Intel and newer M1MacBookPros.

A friend of mine, he built his computer - I had mine pre built, (but it was slightly custom done) And we ran the specs and interestingly* His machine, has a better thermal performance and can sustain for longer. Mine however* is like the mega drive, I have a higher clock speed, and more ram (tho mega drive comparison isn’t valid, it only had the one thing) But seeing as we spent around the same money, (excluding the extra I spent to have it prebuilt) by a good margin, his machine technically can sustain for longer. Whilst mine just ‘it has storage. It has ram, it has that faster CPU clock speed and a GPU, which means GTA 4 can run on it. Not very well* but it can run it. His machine, I commend. Because it’s HALF THE SIZE of mine. And whilst mine grinds to a halt most the time, especially when I wanted to push those ‘harder specs’ ya know, use the full 16gb RAM, compared to his 8gb, Literally mines the definition of ‘I have a space rocket of a car’ vs someone who has a cheap £1000 car, maybe second hand. The moment I do anything Bang and it’s gone. But that’s my personal opinion when it comes to specs. But I will say when it comes to video games.... ‘more definitely can help out’ doesn’t mean every developer knows how to effectively use more space. Especially if they can’t optimise it fully for the machine they are running. That’s why I have respect for Nintendo as I feel they kind of have the same approach as Apple. Make more with less, and if you can’t (as a developer) copy and paste a game over. You have to look at it and work it out. That can yield a better result and ultimately allow said developer to become better at their craft having to work with less.

@@evacody1249 ppl often look at the WRONG specs. Also 1440p 144 hz isn’t always better. Maybe it doesn’t have g sync/ freesync or worst it has awful input lag. But that’s not going on the spec sheet, no company even puts latency on the spec sheet. They put response time which isn’t the important detail.
I love this video, Rene! I used to be a spec chaser; that led me to a lot of Samsung and LG products (Galaxy S3; Tab S 10.5; G3). This all changed when I bought an iPad Mini w/Retina (now called the Mini 2). I could not believe or even understand how the Mini 2 - which was a year older than the Galaxy Tab S, the latter of which had an octacore processor (8 cores!!) and three times the amount of RAM as the mini - was faster and smoother in every respect than the Tab S. I bought the Mini 2 on promotion after it was nearly a year old, and it performed circles around that Galaxy Tab S. I never, ever, bought another Android or Windows device after that Mini 2. I went from the G3 to the 6 Plus; I went from a Compaq tower computer to a 27" 5k iMac (on which I am typing this comment; I've been using this computer for the past five years and it works as well as the day I took it out of the box); I went from an LG G watch of some kind to an Apple watch; heck I even went Apple TV. That singular experience of the Mini 2 changed everything for me. And by the way, my daughter still uses the Mini 2 on a daily basis to this very day. A full six years of daily use on that thing and it still works like a champ. And it still receives security updates from Apple. That's pretty impressive and why this video really hit home for me.
Everything is simple and straightforward. Hardwares and softwares works smoothly and efficiently. That’s the reason I like IOS system. Most importantly it gets my job done how I wanted and needed.
"Apple has more than their own fair share of bugs and Butterfly screw-ups..." Ohhh, the poetry, Rene. I wonder what percentage of the views appreciates this stuff? Hahaha
Way to twist the narrative, so we won't mention exploding Samsung phones then, not company is perfect, as long as they do right by the customers that's the dealbreaker.
I agree with almost everything you said Renee. However, we’re not asking for a power button on AirPods max. We’re asking apple to embrace their core design philosophy to improve the product to turn off the product when it’s around our neck or in our backpack and other common use cases vs forcing us to carry a case around that has little value aesthetically or for protection. Sometimes Apple does make bad choices.
@@wyw201 The only way to force low power mode is to put in the case or to wait a long time for it to activate automatically. That's why although the case is terrible; it is quite essential for the AirPods Max.
Summary to thiz video: Who needs a bigger fuel tank when the engine is "efficient". Who needs a high cc engine when the output torque is high. Who needs a seatbelt when the car wont crash. Don't care regarding the car specs, just buy and enjoy the experience.
Most people just look at a phone and ask themselves if they like how it looks and if it can do the things they want / need it to. Probably less than 1 in a 1000 people ask themselves want the processor clock speed or battery size is when considering what phone to buy.
I was glad to hear Jon Prosser plug your channel in a video today. I’ve been a Sub of yours for a while now and always appreciate your research and the commentary you put behind it in your presentation. Thank you for you.
It’s a sand box situation tho you can’t get iOS on an Android so why does it matter how much memory the phone has when the software stack handles them differently
Yeah, the thing is, Apple's hyperfocus on maximizing efficiency and total optimization means that hardware specs are not an meaningful indicator of their device's performance as they are are to do more with less, so makes perfect sense for them not to advertise the specs lest people assume that a Samsung phone with more horsepower will be faster and more capable.
Am I in a closed wall garden? Yes. Why am I ok with that? Because everything JUST WORKS. As cliche as that phrase sounds, it's the truth. All of my Apple products work super well together without requiring me to think about how to make it all work together. iMessage is seamless across all of my devices. And frankly, all of the Apple devices I own and use are damn good at what they are made for. Are all Apple products perfect? Nope. But, they make them all work really well and seamlessly. That's what Apple has accomplished and that's why they are so successful.
Except that they really do (or at least should) matter. The amount of RAM and battery capacity both heavily influence the longevity of the device. If you look at why iPhones are deprecated it's often due to lack of RAM. Batteries have a limited number of usage cycles. If your battery last much longer than you typically require your only using a partial cycle each day and the lifespan of the battery will be significantly extended. These batteries are sealed inside and expensive to replace (I have years old Android phone on its third battery because it was yser replacable). Yes these specs are largely irrelevant compared to an Android device. They are pretty important when comparing between iOS devices and ensuring you get your moneys worth over the life of the device.
@@samlook The problem is they don't to the average consumer. You even said "these specs are largely irrelevant compared to an Android device" so what would the consumer looking to buy an iPhone 12 compare the specs to? Their current iPhone XR perhaps? To do that they would have to know the power draw differences between the A12 and A14 processors. How about power draw between the LCD and OLED displays? Does my black wallpaper with OLED mean I have to calculate that in as well? The iPhone 12 uses 1 GB more RAM so how much extra power does that draw? My point is most customers don't have any of this information with any phone and even if they did they wouldn't understand it. Most are like cavemen when it comes to tech. In my best caveman voice "iPhone has 2800 battery, Samsung has 4100 battery... Samsung more better!". This is why Apple lists hours of video playback and music listening. That is something average not nerdy customers can relate to.
@@sakhawatrahman4961 I don't think so and Apple really doesn't focus on specs that the average consumer can't use. Apple focuses on the user experience. If would be like comparing two cars by saying one has a 4 cylinder engine and the other an 8 cylinder engine. The problem is the only thing you know is more cylinders must be better so buy the 8 right? Some companies push specs that they know customers don't understand just to make the product look good.
As a former android user myself,I used to be deluded by the empty specs on sheet and honestly believed android devices were superior cuz of the stats.But when I started mobile gaming and started noticing how my android devices handle games compared to how other players with iPhones handle them,I started to doubt the mantra all android users need to tell themselves,that stats are everything. And then I researched the superior bionic A SoC and later learned about the optimizations of the system,and well, after that I just switched,and let's just say I ain't going back.
Wow you were exactly like me I went the same road as you . used to be biggest Apple hater then realize Apple is actually the best in the industry and the whole time I was blinded by android toxic community thinking they had th best hardware because of higher numbers on spec sheet 🤦♂️

As someone who composes lush, cinematic soundscapes and arrangements on GarageBand iOS, I absolutely need to know the RAM when I am looking for a new iPhone. I know I can compose on an iPad and am looking for one too. But that isn't the point. For me, it is all about minimalism, and some of my creations have been used in two-hour dramas and played in theatres as well. All of it, from a device I can carry in my pocket (my iPhone 7 Plus).
I was looking at the iphone 15 and they had a choice of 3 different gb amounts. 128, 256 and another one. How do I know which amount I should get? That's why I was looking at my iphone 13 to see how much ram it has. Which amount do you recommend?
I’ve never really thought about it when making a purchasing decision. There are bugs here and there, but overall I know iOS and most of the apps on the App Store will run flawlessly. The “snappiness” is always there. It usually comes down to form factor.
Charging compulsion debunked. My iPhone 6 I've had since 2014 runs dead at least twice a week. Nearly every day it gets below 15%. I doubt I charge it to 100% half the time. Battery health??????? 91%. What would I be if I was the biggest battery stress kitten alive? 92? Rene is right, Apple knows what they are doing.
Apple products are well designed but are also maliciously designed to fail either because of icloud lock or pairing of components. They are create products unrepairable by anyone other than themselves, thereby creating a monopoly allowing them to charge ridiculous prices for simple repairs.
I also feel like the majority of iOS users don't care about specs, like at all! I think the tech community goes towards Android when they care about specs, while seniors, parents who just need a phone, and social media heavy users go for the iPhone.
Java is not an interpreted language. It is compiled. It’s just compiled for a standardised architecture - the JVM. And the JRE provides the JVM to the compiled app and adds the abstraction layer for the real operating system and processor that is underneath it. Android might be different tho I don’t write Android apps.
You are almost right. This happens in interpretative languages like Python and Ruby they all compiled to a lower representation but instead of running of a executable binary it runs on top of a VM with optimization with JIT to run certain hot code path faster. But it is not a compiled language like C or Objective C. Because in true compiled language once you compiled for an infrastructure you cannot run it in another env but with Java you can
Your analogy doesn’t make it compiled. When compiled is used it means it is transformed into the native infrastructure instruction set but in Java it is not
@@pencilcheck what analogy? Java is a compiled language. Scala is a compiled language. Kotlin is a compiled language. They all compile to the JVM instruction set. The JVM may or may not use JIT to further *optimise* the running code based on observed runtime characteristics. But the JIT doesn’t do anything to the code if it doesn’t detect run time optimisations. There’s no Java interpreter. It is not interpreted. By your specification, *any* application or operating system running in a virtualised environment like docker or kubernetes is also “interpreted” because a virtualisation layer sits between the executing code and the “hardware”.
The practical difference here is the key part. To make a Python program run I can directly clone the *source* code into the target environment and then execute the code with ‘python helloworld.py’. If you clone some Java code to your target environment and try ‘java helloworld.java’ you will only get an error. You have to take your source code and run it through the java *compiler* (javac) and only then can you execute the resulting ‘helloworld.class’ file. Furthermore your source code is *linked* to dependent libraries’ *class* files (their binaries).
Kids kids kids, you're BOTH right...from a certain point of view... Traditional languages are compiled to run natively on the hardware, which is why you need to recompile X86-64 Mac apps to run on M1 natively, whereas JAVA compiles to code that runs on the JVM (or Android equivalent), which interprets it for the underlying architecture, so an Android app written in Java or Kotlin can be run on both ARM and X86-64 architectures without recompiling.
Your AirPods Max point wasn't very compelling to me, because they did add an on/off switch to it - in the form of putting it in the case. So they still expect you to micromanage the battery, it's just less convenient to do so than if there was a physical button or switch on the headphone itself. Although I agree with your overall point that Apple will generally prefer to not have users micromanaging things like power settings. It's just odd that it seems that Apple didn't apply that principle to this particular product.
A classic story about specs being bullshit - I remember when I used to work (programming) on a system that was run on a Silicon Graphics Irix supercomputer. We had some other guys working on systems that ran on these new Sun racks which had recently changed to Intel architecture. And one time they were bragging how their intel processor ran at 2.0GHz or whatever and our “slow” SGI was “only” 455Mhz - I pointed out yeah, the PROCESSOR is 455MHz but so is the MEMORY and also the entire BACKPLANE all the way to the disks and other peripherals. So if one of the processors wanted something from the memory - one clock cycle. Meanwhile their “blazing fast” 2GHz processor had to wait for the much slower memory channels or the PCI bus for many many many multiple cpu clock cycles before it got the data it wanted. Despite the lower “spec” of the clock speed, our several years old SGI system still had MULTIPLE TIMES the data throughput (the thing that really mattered!) of the brand new Sun (“intel”) pizza boxes.
@@ThomDeCarlo hahah really? But probably not -- this was Sydney, Australia in the late 1990s. Must have just been a common point of difference in those days as the intel sun pizza boxes started to flood data centres and "web developers" (the guys developing on the Sun boxes) became a thing?
@@doctorscoot I guess not, opposite side of the planet and all. But the timeframe is right. I had two of the “refrigerators” and one deskside that were practically my own private playground. I really miss my Onyxen.
@@ThomDeCarlo yeah they were amazing systems. We had two of them plus a smaller ‘workstation’ class machine for the pre prod environment. With this demented optic fibre network between them. Sounds like this was a standard sales configuration!!!
So I am having connection issues with Apple AirPods Pro to my new M1 MBP laptop. Cuts in and out and sounds with static. I was trying to listen to one of your Pod Casts, no bueno... The Beats Pro have no issues... Weird. Hopefully Apple fixes this bugs soon.
Apple AirPods turns off simply by just laying them down after 5 minutes, but I guess some ppl need directions to EVERY LITTLE thing. This is equivalent to Ford having to tell customers they have turn the key when you stick the key in the ignition...smh🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Gosh, Rene sounds like he works in Apple's PR team, and I work in PR. I don't know where his words end, and Apple's start. But, I love your videos since I'm an apple user. 😩
Here's something cool about optimization that I appreciate as somebody who's been following Swift for a while: Apple bundled the Swift 5.0 runtime into its operating systems on iOS 12.4 if I'm not mistaken (I'm sure it's no coincidence that was the final version supported on iPhones 5s and 6). Previously - and much like Android as far as I'm aware - apps had to bundle the Swift runtime they were compiled with, because Swift was not ABI-stable before version 5.0. This has significantly reduced the memory (and storage) footprint of apps in iOS and improved general performance and launch time.
Besides from a game which takes a bit more to load, what’s the big deal if apps need to reload? Don’t we all just swipe down to refresh our social media apps anyway. I may be off based and not know what I’m talking about anyway.
On the ram front, I remember seeing a video by Android Central I believe that compared app to app, and most used basically the same amount. So iOS apps themselves really aren’t more memory efficient, unless something has changed, even though there is the common misconception they are. Which means with less ram you have less true multitasking, especially with the aggressive culling iOS does. Also I think Apple is smart not advertising specs, but if you want to find them you should be able to find them. Imagine someone selling a car where all they said was it’s fast enough and glued the engine shut.
No,iOS has a better way of handling background apps. Android,on the other hand,keeps the complete app running in the background. Which is why you can open more than 20 tabs on an iPad pro and still see no performance drop. Did you even watch that whole video?
Staying on top of the spec list is a race to the bottom. Any competitor can drown the spec lead with a deceptive selective spec bump. The end experience should speak for itself, not spec bump.
These explanations just makes Apple look like a Saint. Brother, your descriptions and explanations about why Apple doesn't reveal a lot of specifications is kind of acceptable. Unfortunately, those are still not a reason to not display what they have built in their phones. Why ? They afraid to show smaller numbers? Again.. it is not about the numbers. But for a lot of people numbers (specifications) are important. No reason justifies why they can't simply add those to the Technical specifications list - Yeah. They actually call it Tech Specs and still make it hidden.
Still didn't stop them from putting out ridiculous statements that a said iphone is a a certain % better than the competition when in real world use, the difference is not noticeable and all phones pretty much could handle what you throw at it. Apple customers don't care how an android phone performs or even have any desire to own one, so how is that selling a benefit and experience?
Brother Rene. My fellow Canadian. You always deliver soit in information and informing truly appreciate your skills and approach. Have a merry Christmas ans a safe and joyous New Year’s Eve. Blessings from Saint Boniface. David (BADWAGN or THE BIG D)
I’ve seen a lot of people compare speed by clock speed, even within x86 that’s a terrible metric, I wish manufacturers would stop putting it so visibly.
Nice vid, but when you said Iphones don't need as much RAM, I cringed a little. I have the standard iphone 12, and it keeps closing apps when I have many apps open, and the most annoying part was when I have already typed out a a reply on twitter, then I got an urgent imessage that I need to check and reply to, and when I went back to twitter, the app refreshed and I had to type my message all over again. I wish it has more RAM like the 12 pro max as my brother didn't have this issue on the 12 pro max. 4 GB and below is no longer going to cut it no matter how much apple optimises IOS.
this is thr comment im looking for. so u think if the iphone has 6gb what u experienced won't happen? that's my main concern, i don't want my apps to be closing if i switch between apps
Another great video and set of thoughts. TU. I know there will be haters, regardless how many times you qualified your thoughts, but I especially appreciate this video why Apple is trying to be more “real user” vs “geek” or “tech reviewer” centric in their communication. I was a systems programmer back in the day when an upgrade of 256MB of true core memory (remember those hand-wired round little magnets?) on my employer’s mainframe computer cost nearly $100K, and I had the very difficult time trying to justify why we needed it in our mainframe to support the development and operation team’s needs to mgmt... I was also an IBM employee when the original IBM PC came out, and bought a $12K 128KB dual-floppy PC at employee prices. Anyone remember the 5.25” floppy media? - I had a few dozen of them that cost me a lot of money to just house a few KB of data on each one. ;) Your points are dead-on. How the combination of HW and OS work together is key - and what is most important for the majority of real owners today for devices like our smartphones, tablets, home computers or any other smart device. Specs are something techies dwell on. As many years as I’ve spent as a techie selling and dwelling on speeds and feeds out of necessity, the reality for me today is how the end functionally of the device feels and operates against my specific needs. “The numbers” as I once used as my baseline to sell, install and compare are far less important and almost meaningless.
Rene, didn’t Apple used to share more about their specs, especially as they were making big strides with compute ability? I think things changed in the last couple of years, when they knew that they were beyond needing to compete on specs and could focus more on what the UX is.
Literally any phone that is some what as popular as iPhone such as Samsung are more expensive for their flagship also their trade in values are amazing for a 3 year old phone I got 215 quid for it
4-6 gb ram is just garbage today. I don't care how efficient it is. If I made the best cheese in the world but you could only buy one microgram you would go to another vendor. So I did, my redmagic is a beast! It's loud, it's large with no notch or bezles, it's fast, and has more than enough ram 16gb!!!! If apples ram is so amazing and efficient I would love to buy 16 gb of it, but I'm not spending 1k for 6gb ever, forget it!@
2:43 It’s fairly important that iPhone apps are self-contained, privacy-focused and killed-instantly. Even though it might look like iPhone apps are staying on memory, it may be just that apps are designed to save memory before deaths. Albeit Android also has the same Mechanism, the closed-environment and tight ram management makes the iPhone lasting longer in Phone’s long-term usage in two - three years. Teehee, take that, Android!
Yes the Airpods max does not have a on off switch, instead you are forced to put them in their special case for them to turn off. That's f*ing annoying and force you to spend time on meanless things to save battery. Even dumber is that they don't just turn off after a few minutes when you take them off since it does recognize that you've removed them. How you can call something like that stress free is really hard to understand it's really not a good design.
I learned a new word today. Thanks Rene "Anathema: n. A formal ecclesiastical ban, curse, or excommunication. n. A vehement denunciation; a curse. n. One that is cursed or damned."
As a apple fan, from iPhone 1 to iPhone 11, own iPad, MacBook Pro, Apple Watch, AirPods Pro, I do agree with you about that spec sheets not meaning everything, but iOS has learned things from android, and also many android phones really have benefits too: better battery life, fast charging, beautiful looking, cheaper...! I am sure They got their market share not through cheating customer by specs sheets. PS: I don’t have any problem with my MacBook Pro running chrome, but I did uninstall it after I saw your previous video. What surprised me is that “I can’t copy large files from usb drive to my Mac after upgrade to the Big Sur” problem suddenly solved. It drives me crazy for couple of days. Thanks!
Its so funny - this theme is mimicked in the skincare world. You can shop SOLELY based on the ingredients list, but how it's all formulated and how it will work on YOUR skin is what's more important.
I agree with why they don’t want to release that data. But-it’s futile. As soon as the first devices arrive, someone finds the specs and releases them. Every tech site releases the specs. Because of this, it’s just silly that they don’t release them themselves. All that happens is that people accuse Apple of hiding them because they’re not good. Apple should release the specs, and do some work to explain why the specs are what they are. They do release specs when they want us to know them, so some of the excuses are really pretty lame.
Check out the new Android passenger jet...each window seat passenger can roll down the windows and all passengers get flight controls...cool, a totally customizable product.
They wouldn’t need to eek out the most battery life in whatever battery they use if they keep lessening the capacity of the batteries… No reason for Apple to to go backwards and battery capacity for the iPhone 12 series.. absolutely no one is complaining of a slightly thicker iPhone for a bigger battery.. they did it for the 11pro..

@@HenrikoMagnifico Not always. Especially not in phones. The reason why Android is SO extremely bad at RAM management is because no one is optimizing their stuff for it. Android OEMs put more and more RAM into their devices so there is no need for that. Also, on Android, more RAM means the OS is trying to fill it as good as possible to reduce loading times but this also results in higher power consumption. There are several downsides to having more and more RAM (like I said - on phones).

I went from the G3 to the 6 Plus; I went from a Compaq tower computer to a 27" 5k iMac (on which I am typing this comment; I've been using this computer for the past five years and it works as well as the day I took it out of the box); I went from an LG G watch of some kind to an Apple watch; heck I even went Apple TV. That singular experience of the Mini 2 changed everything for me. And by the way, my daughter still uses the Mini 2 on a daily basis to this very day. A full six years of daily use on that thing and it still works like a champ. And it still receives security updates from Apple. That's pretty impressive and why this video really hit home for me.

@@etoirandolph665 I was replying to the funny Poetry comment. I love how Rene sums it up.
Rene provides so much useful info without spamming redundant videos. Have been following since sometime and now subbed.
iPhone should still put more Ram in their phones
I agree with almost everything you said Renee. However, we’re not asking for a power button on AirPods max. We’re asking apple to embrace their core design philosophy to improve the product to turn off the product when it’s around our neck or in our backpack and other common use cases vs forcing us to carry a case around that has little value aesthetically or for protection. Sometimes Apple does make bad choices.
You don’t need the case though. It still goes into low power mode. You won’t lose more than a couple percent regardless.
@@rileydumont7283 For whatever reason mine drops over 10% just sitting in my backpack. How do you force it to enter low power mode?
@@wyw201 The only way to force low power mode is to put in the case or to wait a long time for it to activate automatically. That's why although the case is terrible; it is quite essential for the AirPods Max.
so basically 🤔🤔 comparing apples to oranges
Summary to thiz video:
Who needs a bigger fuel tank when the engine is "efficient".
Who needs a high cc engine when the output torque is high.
Who needs a seatbelt when the car wont crash.
Don't care regarding the car specs, just buy and enjoy the experience.
To prevent people to asume that it will perform in one way, and because specs matter but optimization is also important
Most people just look at a phone and ask themselves if they like how it looks and if it can do the things they want / need it to. Probably less than 1 in a 1000 people ask themselves want the processor clock speed or battery size is when considering what phone to buy.
Apple just wants you to buy their phone because of their aesthetic, build quality, and camera. They have me hooked, I will never switch to android.
I was glad to hear Jon Prosser plug your channel in a video today. I’ve been a Sub of yours for a while now and always appreciate your research and the commentary you put behind it in your presentation. Thank you for you.
Thanks so much! Jon if very kind!
It’s a sand box situation tho you can’t get iOS on an Android so why does it matter how much memory the phone has when the software stack handles them differently
That’s kind of the whole point of this video.
Yeah, the thing is, Apple's hyperfocus on maximizing efficiency and total optimization means that hardware specs are not an meaningful indicator of their device's performance as they are are to do more with less, so makes perfect sense for them not to advertise the specs lest people assume that a Samsung phone with more horsepower will be faster and more capable.
Am I in a closed wall garden? Yes. Why am I ok with that? Because everything JUST WORKS. As cliche as that phrase sounds, it's the truth. All of my Apple products work super well together without requiring me to think about how to make it all work together. iMessage is seamless across all of my devices. And frankly, all of the Apple devices I own and use are damn good at what they are made for. Are all Apple products perfect? Nope. But, they make them all work really well and seamlessly. That's what Apple has accomplished and that's why they are so successful.
👍🏾👍🏾 Probably because none of the specifications really matters to the end user
Except that they really do (or at least should) matter. The amount of RAM and battery capacity both heavily influence the longevity of the device. If you look at why iPhones are deprecated it's often due to lack of RAM. Batteries have a limited number of usage cycles. If your battery last much longer than you typically require your only using a partial cycle each day and the lifespan of the battery will be significantly extended. These batteries are sealed inside and expensive to replace (I have years old Android phone on its third battery because it was yser replacable). Yes these specs are largely irrelevant compared to an Android device. They are pretty important when comparing between iOS devices and ensuring you get your moneys worth over the life of the device.
@@samlook The problem is they don't to the average consumer. You even said "these specs are largely irrelevant compared to an Android device" so what would the consumer looking to buy an iPhone 12 compare the specs to? Their current iPhone XR perhaps? To do that they would have to know the power draw differences between the A12 and A14 processors. How about power draw between the LCD and OLED displays? Does my black wallpaper with OLED mean I have to calculate that in as well? The iPhone 12 uses 1 GB more RAM so how much extra power does that draw? My point is most customers don't have any of this information with any phone and even if they did they wouldn't understand it. Most are like cavemen when it comes to tech. In my best caveman voice "iPhone has 2800 battery, Samsung has 4100 battery... Samsung more better!". This is why Apple lists hours of video playback and music listening. That is something average not nerdy customers can relate to.
It probably would've made sense for them to advertise the 12 Pro as having 50% more RAM. That would've been good marketing for the 12 Pro.
@@sakhawatrahman4961 I don't think so and Apple really doesn't focus on specs that the average consumer can't use. Apple focuses on the user experience. If would be like comparing two cars by saying one has a 4 cylinder engine and the other an 8 cylinder engine. The problem is the only thing you know is more cylinders must be better so buy the 8 right? Some companies push specs that they know customers don't understand just to make the product look good.
As a former android user myself,I used to be deluded by the empty specs on sheet and honestly believed android devices were superior cuz of the stats.But when I started mobile gaming and started noticing how my android devices handle games compared to how other players with iPhones handle them,I started to doubt the mantra all android users need to tell themselves,that stats are everything.
And then I researched the superior bionic A SoC and later learned about the optimizations of the system,and well, after that I just switched,and let's just say I ain't going back.

As someone who composes lush, cinematic soundscapes and arrangements on GarageBand iOS, I absolutely need to know the RAM when I am looking for a new iPhone. I know I can compose on an iPad and am looking for one too. But that isn't the point. For me, it is all about minimalism, and some of my creations have been used in two-hour dramas and played in theatres as well. All of it, from a device I can carry in my pocket (my iPhone 7 Plus).
I was looking at the iphone 15 and they had a choice of 3 different gb amounts. 128, 256 and another one. How do I know which amount I should get? That's why I was looking at my iphone 13 to see how much ram it has. Which amount do you recommend?
I’ve never really thought about it when making a purchasing decision. There are bugs here and there, but overall I know iOS and most of the apps on the App Store will run flawlessly. The “snappiness” is always there. It usually comes down to form factor.
brother can u tell how to maintain battery health on xs max how i should charge battery
Rene Ritchie : Apple repair debate
Louis Rossman has joined the chat💥💥🤣🤣🤣
Charging compulsion debunked. My iPhone 6 I've had since 2014 runs dead at least twice a week. Nearly every day it gets below 15%. I doubt I charge it to 100% half the time. Battery health??????? 91%. What would I be if I was the biggest battery stress kitten alive? 92? Rene is right, Apple knows what they are doing.
Side note: Curiosity Stream is excellent.
Some of the content is excellent. Some is diabolical. It’s pretty good for the price though.
@@dwayne_dibley haven’t come across diabolical stuff yet, but it’s still early. I like the kids stuff for my 8 year old. Not a bad price at all.
Apple products are well designed but are also maliciously designed to fail either because of icloud lock or pairing of components. They are create products unrepairable by anyone other than themselves, thereby creating a monopoly allowing them to charge ridiculous prices for simple repairs.
I also feel like the majority of iOS users don't care about specs, like at all! I think the tech community goes towards Android when they care about specs, while seniors, parents who just need a phone, and social media heavy users go for the iPhone.
The only logical answer is so you can’t directly compare it to the competition.
Java is not an interpreted language. It is compiled. It’s just compiled for a standardised architecture - the JVM. And the JRE provides the JVM to the compiled app and adds the abstraction layer for the real operating system and processor that is underneath it. Android might be different tho I don’t write Android apps.
You are almost right. This happens in interpretative languages like Python and Ruby they all compiled to a lower representation but instead of running of a executable binary it runs on top of a VM with optimization with JIT to run certain hot code path faster. But it is not a compiled language like C or Objective C. Because in true compiled language once you compiled for an infrastructure you cannot run it in another env but with Java you can
Your analogy doesn’t make it compiled. When compiled is used it means it is transformed into the native infrastructure instruction set but in Java it is not
@@pencilcheck what analogy?
Java is a compiled language. Scala is a compiled language. Kotlin is a compiled language. They all compile to the JVM instruction set. The JVM may or may not use JIT to further *optimise* the running code based on observed runtime characteristics. But the JIT doesn’t do anything to the code if it doesn’t detect run time optimisations.
There’s no Java interpreter. It is not interpreted.
By your specification, *any* application or operating system running in a virtualised environment like docker or kubernetes is also “interpreted” because a virtualisation layer sits between the executing code and the “hardware”.
The practical difference here is the key part. To make a Python program run I can directly clone the *source* code into the target environment and then execute the code with ‘python helloworld.py’.
If you clone some Java code to your target environment and try ‘java helloworld.java’ you will only get an error.
You have to take your source code and run it through the java *compiler* (javac) and only then can you execute the resulting ‘helloworld.class’ file. Furthermore your source code is *linked* to dependent libraries’ *class* files (their binaries).
Kids kids kids, you're BOTH right...from a certain point of view...
Traditional languages are compiled to run natively on the hardware, which is why you need to recompile X86-64 Mac apps to run on M1 natively, whereas JAVA compiles to code that runs on the JVM (or Android equivalent), which interprets it for the underlying architecture, so an Android app written in Java or Kotlin can be run on both ARM and X86-64 architectures without recompiling.
Your AirPods Max point wasn't very compelling to me, because they did add an on/off switch to it - in the form of putting it in the case. So they still expect you to micromanage the battery, it's just less convenient to do so than if there was a physical button or switch on the headphone itself.
Although I agree with your overall point that Apple will generally prefer to not have users micromanaging things like power settings. It's just odd that it seems that Apple didn't apply that principle to this particular product.
A classic story about specs being bullshit - I remember when I used to work (programming) on a system that was run on a Silicon Graphics Irix supercomputer. We had some other guys working on systems that ran on these new Sun racks which had recently changed to Intel architecture. And one time they were bragging how their intel processor ran at 2.0GHz or whatever and our “slow” SGI was “only” 455Mhz - I pointed out yeah, the PROCESSOR is 455MHz but so is the MEMORY and also the entire BACKPLANE all the way to the disks and other peripherals. So if one of the processors wanted something from the memory - one clock cycle. Meanwhile their “blazing fast” 2GHz processor had to wait for the much slower memory channels or the PCI bus for many many many multiple cpu clock cycles before it got the data it wanted. Despite the lower “spec” of the clock speed, our several years old SGI system still had MULTIPLE TIMES the data throughput (the thing that really mattered!) of the brand new Sun (“intel”) pizza boxes.
It almost sounds like we worked in the same shop!
@@ThomDeCarlo hahah really? But probably not -- this was Sydney, Australia in the late 1990s. Must have just been a common point of difference in those days as the intel sun pizza boxes started to flood data centres and "web developers" (the guys developing on the Sun boxes) became a thing?
@@doctorscoot I guess not, opposite side of the planet and all. But the timeframe is right. I had two of the “refrigerators” and one deskside that were practically my own private playground. I really miss my Onyxen.
@@ThomDeCarlo yeah they were amazing systems. We had two of them plus a smaller ‘workstation’ class machine for the pre prod environment. With this demented optic fibre network between them. Sounds like this was a standard sales configuration!!!
So I am having connection issues with Apple AirPods Pro to my new M1 MBP laptop. Cuts in and out and sounds with static. I was trying to listen to one of your Pod Casts, no bueno... The Beats Pro have no issues... Weird. Hopefully Apple fixes this bugs soon.

Really well explained video, good content 🥳
Gosh, Rene sounds like he works in Apple's PR team, and I work in PR. I don't know where his words end, and Apple's start. But, I love your videos since I'm an apple user. 😩
Here's something cool about optimization that I appreciate as somebody who's been following Swift for a while:
Apple bundled the Swift 5.0 runtime into its operating systems on iOS 12.4 if I'm not mistaken (I'm sure it's no coincidence that was the final version supported on iPhones 5s and 6). Previously - and much like Android as far as I'm aware - apps had to bundle the Swift runtime they were compiled with, because Swift was not ABI-stable before version 5.0.
This has significantly reduced the memory (and storage) footprint of apps in iOS and improved general performance and launch time.
Hello from Maldives!! Love your content! Congrats for reaching 200k followers!
So if Apple came to you and said we want you to work for us would you do it Rene?
Congratulations on 200k
👀 I enjoyed your well-researched video. I appreciate your hard work and production quality. Blessings on your day.
well-researched? the whole video was basically Apple don't tell you the specs because the specs might confuse you.
Besides from a game which takes a bit more to load, what’s the big deal if apps need to reload? Don’t we all just swipe down to refresh our social media apps anyway. I may be off based and not know what I’m talking about anyway.
On the ram front, I remember seeing a video by Android Central I believe that compared app to app, and most used basically the same amount. So iOS apps themselves really aren’t more memory efficient, unless something has changed, even though there is the common misconception they are. Which means with less ram you have less true multitasking, especially with the aggressive culling iOS does.
Also I think Apple is smart not advertising specs, but if you want to find them you should be able to find them. Imagine someone selling a car where all they said was it’s fast enough and glued the engine shut.
No,iOS has a better way of handling background apps. Android,on the other hand,keeps the complete app running in the background. Which is why you can open more than 20 tabs on an iPad pro and still see no performance drop. Did you even watch that whole video?
Staying on top of the spec list is a race to the bottom. Any competitor can drown the spec lead with a deceptive selective spec bump. The end experience should speak for itself, not spec bump.
Does nebula have background audio?
Even within specs most people are clueless. It's like screens the only one most people know is resolution.
12 times out of 10! That got me
👌the transition from the main content to Nebula ❤️ always beats me ❤️
The sound is different? A new mic maybe ? It’s not bad it’s just different
These explanations just makes Apple look like a Saint. Brother, your descriptions and explanations about why Apple doesn't reveal a lot of specifications is kind of acceptable. Unfortunately, those are still not a reason to not display what they have built in their phones. Why ? They afraid to show smaller numbers? Again.. it is not about the numbers. But for a lot of people numbers (specifications) are important. No reason justifies why they can't simply add those to the Technical specifications list - Yeah. They actually call it Tech Specs and still make it hidden.
Short answer: Because they sell benefits and experiences, not raw features
Long (and well explained) answer: Watch the video!
Still didn't stop them from putting out ridiculous statements that a said iphone is a a certain % better than the competition when in real world use, the difference is not noticeable and all phones pretty much could handle what you throw at it. Apple customers don't care how an android phone performs or even have any desire to own one, so how is that selling a benefit and experience?

I’ve seen a lot of people compare speed by clock speed, even within x86 that’s a terrible metric, I wish manufacturers would stop putting it so visibly.
Nice vid, but when you said Iphones don't need as much RAM, I cringed a little. I have the standard iphone 12, and it keeps closing apps when I have many apps open, and the most annoying part was when I have already typed out a a reply on twitter, then I got an urgent imessage that I need to check and reply to, and when I went back to twitter, the app refreshed and I had to type my message all over again. I wish it has more RAM like the 12 pro max as my brother didn't have this issue on the 12 pro max. 4 GB and below is no longer going to cut it no matter how much apple optimises IOS.
this is thr comment im looking for. so u think if the iphone has 6gb what u experienced won't happen? that's my main concern, i don't want my apps to be closing if i switch between apps
Congrats on 200K
Tanks!
very informative thank you
Another great video and set of thoughts. TU. I know there will be haters, regardless how many times you qualified your thoughts, but I especially appreciate this video why Apple is trying to be more “real user” vs “geek” or “tech reviewer” centric in their communication. I was a systems programmer back in the day when an upgrade of 256MB of true core memory (remember those hand-wired round little magnets?) on my employer’s mainframe computer cost nearly $100K, and I had the very difficult time trying to justify why we needed it in our mainframe to support the development and operation team’s needs to mgmt... I was also an IBM employee when the original IBM PC came out, and bought a $12K 128KB dual-floppy PC at employee prices. Anyone remember the 5.25” floppy media? - I had a few dozen of them that cost me a lot of money to just house a few KB of data on each one. ;) Your points are dead-on. How the combination of HW and OS work together is key - and what is most important for the majority of real owners today for devices like our smartphones, tablets, home computers or any other smart device. Specs are something techies dwell on. As many years as I’ve spent as a techie selling and dwelling on speeds and feeds out of necessity, the reality for me today is how the end functionally of the device feels and operates against my specific needs. “The numbers” as I once used as my baseline to sell, install and compare are far less important and almost meaningless.
So what are the clock speeds of Apple’s chips? I know they’re all different but I’d like to know
Check Wikipedia.
All the specs are there
3.0 hz
Congrats 200k
Meaningful talk
Nice information and video
Rene, didn’t Apple used to share more about their specs, especially as they were making big strides with compute ability? I think things changed in the last couple of years, when they knew that they were beyond needing to compete on specs and could focus more on what the UX is.

2:43 It’s fairly important that iPhone apps are self-contained, privacy-focused and killed-instantly. Even though it might look like iPhone apps are staying on memory, it may be just that apps are designed to save memory before deaths. Albeit Android also has the same Mechanism, the closed-environment and tight ram management makes the iPhone lasting longer in Phone’s long-term usage in two - three years. Teehee, take that, Android!
Now I get why some cheap android tablets are slower than an ipad v1 - interpreter vs compiled code?
This is amazing and so informative thank you so much. Seriously you are one of the best tech you tubers out there!!!
Yes the Airpods max does not have a on off switch, instead you are forced to put them in their special case for them to turn off. That's f*ing annoying and force you to spend time on meanless things to save battery. Even dumber is that they don't just turn off after a few minutes when you take them off since it does recognize that you've removed them. How you can call something like that stress free is really hard to understand it's really not a good design.
I learned a new word today. Thanks Rene
"Anathema:
n. A formal ecclesiastical ban, curse, or excommunication.
n. A vehement denunciation; a curse.
n. One that is cursed or damned."
Rene really likes the word "anathema"
Apple is a different beast purely becasue it owns its entire ecosystem
can confirm as an iOS developer they force you to optimize a lot more... Ends up being for the greater good though
As a apple fan, from iPhone 1 to iPhone 11, own iPad, MacBook Pro, Apple Watch, AirPods Pro, I do agree with you about that spec sheets not meaning everything, but iOS has learned things from android, and also many android phones really have benefits too: better battery life, fast charging, beautiful looking, cheaper...! I am sure They got their market share not through cheating customer by specs sheets.
PS: I don’t have any problem with my MacBook Pro running chrome, but I did uninstall it after I saw your previous video. What surprised me is that “I can’t copy large files from usb drive to my Mac after upgrade to the Big Sur” problem suddenly solved. It drives me crazy for couple of days. Thanks!
Great video as usual Rene, cheers from Ottawa 🥂
exactly right Rene.
Its so funny - this theme is mimicked in the skincare world. You can shop SOLELY based on the ingredients list, but how it's all formulated and how it will work on YOUR skin is what's more important.
I agree with why they don’t want to release that data. But-it’s futile. As soon as the first devices arrive, someone finds the specs and releases them. Every tech site releases the specs. Because of this, it’s just silly that they don’t release them themselves. All that happens is that people accuse Apple of hiding them because they’re not good. Apple should release the specs, and do some work to explain why the specs are what they are. They do release specs when they want us to know them, so some of the excuses are really pretty lame.
Check out the new Android passenger jet...each window seat passenger can roll down the windows and all passengers get flight controls...cool, a totally customizable product.
So the video is basically saying Apple don't tell you the specs because the specs might confuse you.
They wouldn’t need to eek out the most battery life in whatever battery they use if they keep lessening the capacity of the batteries… No reason for Apple to to go backwards and battery capacity for the iPhone 12 series.. absolutely no one is complaining of a slightly thicker iPhone for a bigger battery.. they did it for the 11pro..
I told some people on discord that 4 GB > 6 GB and they said I was an idiot
That is quite dumb to think, though. More RAM is *always* better. No matter what phone you're using, and especially if it's the same brand of phones.
@@HenrikoMagnifico Always better? Not necessarily. If all your applications and usage trends (computer included) never create enough processes to tax your ram limit then anytbing you aren’t touching is a wasted investment. That being said in pick a high percentage of situations more ram will almost always be of some gain no matter how nebulous that gain may be (32gb on a pc for strictly word processing).
@@HenrikoMagnifico all other things remaining the same, more RAM is better of course. But 4Gb RAM on iOS ≠ 4Gb RAM on Android so yeah 4Gb on iOS is definitely better than 6Gb on Android which is what OP is saying
@@HenrikoMagnifico Not always. Especially not in phones. The reason why Android is SO extremely bad at RAM management is because no one is optimizing their stuff for it. Android OEMs put more and more RAM into their devices so there is no need for that. Also, on Android, more RAM means the OS is trying to fill it as good as possible to reduce loading times but this also results in higher power consumption.
There are several downsides to having more and more RAM (like I said - on phones).
@@HenrikoMagnifico I used the argument that 1 GB of iOS RAM = 2 GB Alf Android RAM
